1) Misleading
-
This site told me
quite a bit about how they have improved the world by reducing this and
reducing that but it never did treat me as a customer. What can they do for me? It is very animated, I would say a cross
between a “Matrix” film and a thrill ride at Disney.

This page is misleading with it’s home page
and information within.
2) Sound
This is a site for
those into massages. The photos are very
tasteful but the music is horrible.
There are little butterflies flittering around all over the page. One of the photos of the massage table in the
private rooms looks like a casket. The
music would be perfect for a funeral.
This was a very bad choice.
- http://www.serene-naturist.com/
This site has music playing but there is no
place for the visitor to turn it off.
3) Site Name -
I’m still not real
sure what this site is about and the name of the site does not help. It is very hard to read with its multicolor
and funky text. There are places to
visit all over the page and everything has its own color. I just never could find rhyme or reason with
this one.
http://www.sixtiespress.co.uk/
The name of the site is difficult to read
because of the text and colors.
4) Overwhelming Advertisement -
I have NEVER been so
flustered in all my life. This site is
like a Dollar General sales paper gone haywire!
There are ads and coupons and million other things to grab attention but
the main heading is LOST amongst all the other hideous colors and pictures. I really had to do some hunting on this site.
This site is very busy and overloads the
visitor from the beginning.
5) HTML Errors -
I was confused when
first viewing this site. I thought it
was some sort of patriotic site to celebrate our American troops but I later
found out it is a site for audio/video equipment. This site was very misleading. I clicked on the “click here” and got nothing
but another review of the same site revealed 186 html errors. I would have my site proofed first.
This site has many html errors and needs to
be proofed before uploading.
6) Flash Overload
Very interesting site
but the designers went a bit crazy with the Flash. Text and pictures are “Flashing” across the
page. Appearing and disappearing in
random sequences, this site’s information is very hard to focus on.
- http://www.pandminc.com/pmweb/pm_intro.html
This page has nice Flash but too much to get
the message across.
7) Distracting Graphics -
Not realizing at
first what the distraction was, I finally figured out that this site has little
bubbles floating from the bottom of the site to the top. Being a seafood site it seems like a good idea
to use bubbles on the page but this is going “overboard”, no pun intended. The bubbles made me nauseated from the
movement. I feel that the site is rather
juvenile and true customers will move on.

This page lacks excitement and the graphics
are very distracting.
8) Organization
Flaws -
I can see where this
site would be very intriguing to a child, but not an adult. The information here is for adults, or at
least much older children. The
organization on this site is nonexistent.
There are places that guide here and there with no rhyme or reason and
the sounds are agitating to say the least.
The average visitor will grow weary and visit elsewhere.
http://www.jkrowling.com/accessible/en/
This site lacks organization for the visitor
and is more like a seek and find game.
9) Optical Pandemonium
The colors are nice
but there are so many things going on and no real organization. I feel that if the activities were by date
and not even the reader would be able to make sense of it all. The way it is now makes it hard for a
visitor, especially one that is not tech savvy, to find his/her way around. I would reorganized and tone down the
colors.
- http://www.amazingthings.org/
This page contains too many colors and should
be organized to suit the viewer.
10) Color –
This site uses very
bright red colors to grab the viewer’s attention. One can truly say they “see” red. The designer created this site to advertise
youth football but guests are overloaded with the bright colors and move on
quickly. If this were my site I would
change the background and limit the pops of color.

This page is red, very, very red.
